Dante and Zeus are doing well in their foster home. They are loveable, obedient, and now love visitors. They must go to a forever home together and cannot be separated, as they are so dependent on one another and anxious if they must be separated for a short vet visit or walk. It is my opinion that they should be the only dogs in the household and definitely no cats, as they both have a very high prey drive. They are very good with respectful children. These guys are wonderful. Apply today if you can provide a forever home for both Dante and Zeus!

Dante is doing very well in his foster home. He has excellent manners and listens well. He is in the process of losing weight, as he is very overweight. Dante is loveable, but will go lie down when you tell him. He has done well with guests coming to the house, as we always tell people not to approach the dogs, let the dogs come to them. Dante has also done well with my grandchildren coming to the house. He is easy going, but is a very active and agile guy outside when playing in the yard with Zeus. They play very roughly together but will stop when you tell them. Dante has a crate which he will go in, but he is trustworthy in the house and does not need to be crated. He is easy to walk on lead and likes going for walks. Dante is a talker. These boys are devoted to one another, and Zeus always seeks out Dante and wants to sleep on the same dog bed with him. When given treats (which he takes very gently), Dante will give you his paw. Thank you for your interest in Dante and Zeus!

Dante and Zeus are a father and son pair. Their owner had to move and was living in his van with them because he didn't want to give them up. He finally had to surrender them to the shelter, who contacted us for help. Dante and Zeus have been loved and well taken care of. They are both very sweet and playful boys. Dante's previous owner indicated that he was a great companion and a very loyal friend. Dante has lots and lots of love to give. He knows how to sit, stay, and give his paw. Dante is crate trained, housetrained, and reported to be good with children and cats. Dante did great on his long transport today - he had lots of kisses for everybody and traveled well in the car! Dante is reported to get very depressed when separated from Zeus, so we would love to find a home where these two boys can remain together. Apply today if you can provide a forever home for Dante and Zeus!

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please first read our Adoption Procedure, by clicking on the link at the top of this page, then fill out an online application.

Boxers and Applicants are not matched on a first come, first served basis. Not all applications are approved. On average, it takes between a week and 1 month to adopt a Rescue Boxer to an approved applicant, depending on your personal circumstances and flexibility.  

Matching Boxers suitable for placement with younger children, other dogs, cats, and special needs, yours and theirs, increases the application review time and adoption time.  

And yes, we realize that the Boxer you may have your heart set on, may be adopted before you're approved.   Should your first choices all ready found their forever home, we want you to advise us as to other dogs you are interested in at Adoptions@AdoptABoxerRescue.com .  Or let us suggest a few that we feel will match your home.  That is what we are good at.   And be happy for the ones that have been placed... and know that there are way too many fantastic dogs waiting in their place.

Our non-profit organization is wholly comprised of hard-working volunteers whose only reward is seeing our wonderful Boxers placed in loving, permanent homes and given another chance for a happy life. Our process may seem slow, but if you are patient, we will try to provide you with a devoted, loving companion - a Boxer.

We hope you feel that the right Boxer is worth waiting for.
